A Rutgers fan who accidentally stumbled into Fiddler's Elbow Country in Bedminster on Thursday night might claim to have discovered the jackpot of all sports auctions.

Autographed memorabilia from Rutgers alum turned Yankees star Todd Frazier, a trip on the private Rutgers football team plane to a game at Michigan State in 2018, and a yet-to-be-seen No. 52 black Rutgers football jersey by adidas in honor of Eric LeGrand are just a small sampling of the items donated by many businesses and local sports franchises that will be up for bid.

But the event isn't called "An Evening with Eric LeGrand" for no reason.

"My message is shining light on other people with spinal cord injuries," LeGrand told NJ Advance Media, "and letting them share their stories with the crowd."

The fifth annual charity event hosted by Rutgers donors and Newroads Financial Group business partners Ron Garutti Jr. and Jason Newcomb will be held from 7-9 p.m. Thursday.

A minimum donation of $100 per person online or at the door is required to attend -- and all money goes to Team LeGrand of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation for spinal cord injury research because Newroads Financial Group covers all costs.

Originally intended to be a one-time initiative, the charity event has raised about $150,000 over four years, becoming one of the biggest event's on LeGrand's calendar. At the start of 2017, that total accounted for 20 percent of Team LeGrand's fundraising.
